Translation of the content: During the off-season of the Chinese Super League (CSL), five clubs have completed coaching changes, including Beijing Guoan, Zhejiang Team, Wuhan Three Towns, Qingdao Hainiu, and Shenzhen New Pegasus City. At the end of the CSL 24 season, Beijing Guoan parted ways with Suarez in a peaceful manner. Replacing him is former Barcelona coach Quique Setien. Setien is a typical Spanish-style coach who advocates attacking football and prefers possession play, insisting on keeping the ball on the ground. His tactical system should be quite suitable for Beijing Guoan, which currently has many young players with ideas. Zhejiang Team has parted ways with Jodi, and the new coach is likely to be Raul Caneda, a close associate of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. The progress so far indicates that both the Zhejiang Team's coaching selection group and Caneda are satisfied with each other, and only need the final approval from the management. Coach Cado-Rodriguez, who led Wuhan Three Towns in the CSL 24 season, has joined the Japanese J-League team, Kashiwa Reysol. It is reported that replacing him will be Portuguese coach Felipe Martins. This coach has been active in the Portuguese league and achieved his best result by leading his team to promotion to the Primeira Liga. The new coach of Qingdao Hainiu is Li Xiaopeng, the former national team coach, who coached Cangzhou Mighty Lions last season. Li, a native of Qingdao, has also coached Qingdao before, making his return a triumphant homecoming. Joining Li Xiaopeng at Qingdao Hainiu is also former international player Hao…

Zhejiang Team News: Foreign Aid Snatched by Bundesliga Team, Leonardo Not Signed, New Coach Already Confirmed The recent news about the Zhejiang team, a Chinese Super League club, has left fans somewhat puzzled. The team was close to signing Georgian forward Zivzivadze, who had performed exceptionally well in the German second division, but he was intercepted by Bundesliga side Heidenheim, leaving Zhejiang needing to find a new forward. Zivzivadze's impressive statistics in the German second division, particularly his performance at Karlsruher SC, had caught the attention of many clubs. Zhejiang was almost successful in securing him, but the sudden interest from a Bundesliga team put an end to the deal. Despite having four foreign players in their attacking line - Efraim, Ousmane, Frank, and Lucas - Zhejiang clearly needs a reliable goal-scoring forward to address this shortcoming. Leonardo could be a good option; during his loan spell at Zhejiang, he scored 36 goals and provided 12 assists in 54 games, which is quite commendable in the Chinese Super League. However, Leonardo's salary demands seem to be too high, and negotiations with Zhejiang have not progressed. Additionally, his contract with Shandong Taishan still has over a year left, so it may take some time to resolve this situation. Zhejiang has also recently lost two local players, Fan Jinming and Ning Fangze, who have both transferred to Dalian Kunlun, which will likely affect the team's overall strength. Currently, Zhejiang seems to be lacking something. Although they have four foreign players, they lack a consistent goal-scorer, which could be problematic if not addressed…

Translation of the article content into English: The CBA regular season is heating up, with Zhejiang team suffering an upset loss to Shenzhen team in a tense and exciting match, scoring 102-105. This defeat has caused Zhejiang to drop to third place in the rankings, with Guangdong team and Guangzhou team also experiencing a decline in their standings. Meanwhile, Liaoning, Shandong, and Xinjiang teams all have the same points, making the competition fierce. The loss in this game has narrowed the gap between Zhejiang and the top two teams to just one point. At the start of the game, Wang Yibo scored a basket, giving Zhejiang an 8-3 lead. However, Shenzhen was not willing to back down, launching a strong inside attack to overtake the score. Zhejiang attempted to regain the advantage, with Rong Zifeng scoring five consecutive points. The two teams went back and forth, ending the first quarter in a draw. In the second quarter, both teams made efforts to break through from the outside, with Shenzhen taking the lead first. At halftime, Zhejiang trailed by 14 points. In the second half, Shenzhen created another miracle at the start, building a lead of more than 20 points. Liu Zeyi responded with a three-pointer, and the two teams engaged in a fierce battle. Zhejiang's three-point shooting also started to pick up in the latter part of the game, gradually reducing the gap. By the end of the third quarter, Zhejiang trailed by only four points. In the fourth quarter, Shenzhen opened with an 8-1 run, once again establishing a…

Shandong Taishan FC is set to begin their winter training for the new season on January 6th, and at that time, the team's personnel adjustments will become clear. After the end of last season, several players' contracts with Taishan FC are due to expire, including multiple foreign players whose contracts are nearing their end. Last season, Taishan FC's performance was not up to par, largely due to issues with their foreign players. As a result, fans are hoping for adjustments to be made during this off-season. Among the current foreign players at Taishan FC, there are two central defenders, Jardel and Marcelo. There have been media reports suggesting that the team might have to choose between the two. Jardel, in an effort to renew his contract with Taishan FC, has even changed his agent, becoming a player under the Korean agency, which significantly increases his chances of renewal. However, regarding Marcelo, recent media reports indicate that he has personally confirmed that Taishan FC will not renew his contract. Despite this, it seems that even if Taishan FC does not renew Marcelo's contract, they are not necessarily committed to renewing Jardel's either. According to recent reports from Shandong media, Taishan FC will be releasing both central defenders. Jardel is very keen on renewing his contract, but Taishan FC cannot meet his renewal conditions. Jardel's abilities are unquestionable; in recent seasons, he has repeatedly stepped up to save the team in times of crisis, earning recognition from fans. However, Jardel's frequent injuries and low attendance rate have had a significant impact on…

On the last day of 2024, two regular season games were held in the CBA, both resulting in upsets. Fujian defeated Jiangsu, ending their 15-game losing streak. Meanwhile, Zhejiang, on a 10-game winning streak, lost at home to Shenzhen, who were ranked third from the bottom, which was a huge upset. However, Zhejiang's ranking remained in the top three. Zhejiang should not have lost this game. Despite the absence of Cheng Shaipeng and Yu Jiahao only playing for 12 minutes before exiting the game, these were not excuses for the loss. Despite an incomplete lineup, their strength was still above Shenzhen's, especially since Shenzhen was also missing a key player, Zhou Peng. In this game, Zhejiang somewhat underestimated their opponents, not playing seriously, or perhaps being a bit lax. In the second half of the second quarter, they were hit by Shenzhen with a 26-4 run, trailing by as many as 24 points. Fortunately, they managed to recover some points in the latter part of the third quarter, reducing the gap to 4 points. However, in the fourth quarter, the gap widened again to double digits. But at this point, Zhejiang launched a furious counterattack, almost achieving a great comeback. The most classic moment occurred in the final 34 seconds when Zhejiang was only down by 6 points. A miraculous scene unfolded. Zhejiang's foreign aid, York, emerged as a hero. Under the cover of his teammates, he made two consecutive long-range leaning back three-pointers, which could also be called unreasonable three-pointers, with very fast and difficult shots. Then, in another…

After entering the winter break, Shandong Taishan has been quiet in the transfer market. However, the latest news from the Chinese Super League (CSL) transfer market indicates that Shandong Taishan will not agree to the return of Leonardo, the CSL Golden Boot winner, after his loan period expires. Instead, they will hand over this Brazilian powerhouse to their CSL rivals, Zhejiang FC, selling him outright to complete a permanent transfer. For Shandong Taishan, giving away such a powerful forward, who has consistently ranked high in the CSL scoring charts over multiple seasons, is indeed a very foolish decision. This decision not only confuses and puzzles the fans of Shandong Taishan but also adds uncertainty to the competitive landscape of the new CSL season. Leonardo, since joining the CSL, has quickly become a shining star on the field with his excellent physical qualities, precise shooting skills, and keen sense of goal. He has solid physical attributes and comprehensive abilities. As a striker, he possesses strong dominance within the penalty area, demonstrating high efficiency and threat whether it's heading or poaching at the feet. What's more valuable is that Leonardo is not just a "rough player" who relies solely on physical conditions. His positional awareness on the field, his understanding and coordination with teammates, as well as his calmness in handling the ball in critical moments, make him an indispensable core force in the team's offensive end. Looking back at Leonardo's performance during his loan spell with Zhejiang FC in the last two seasons since leaving Shandong Taishan, he undoubtedly proved his…

On December 31st, Beijing time, Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team welcomed their first match of the second stage of the league at home against Liaoning Women's Volleyball Team. Both teams were in excellent form previously, with Liaoning easily defeating Zhejiang in two matches to secure their relegation safety, while Tianjin achieved the best performance in Chinese and Asian club history at the Club World Cup. In this rematch, Tianjin ultimately secured a hard-fought 3-1 victory. Summarizing the victory, Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team also received three significant pieces of good news. Firstly, the game was not particularly smooth, revealing some significant issues within the team. For example, they entered the game slowly, trailing in the first three sets and unable to completely suppress Liaoning, who are not particularly strong. The earlier these problems are exposed, the better it is for Tianjin, as they will have more time to make adjustments. Secondly, the game was somewhat challenging, especially losing a set in the third round, which was the second set lost by Tianjin since Yao Di's return. Prior to this, except for the 3-1 victory against Jiangsu, all other matches were clean sweeps with 3-0 victories, which were relatively easy wins. Sometimes, such victories can make the team overconfident, failing to take opponents seriously. Losing a set may be more beneficial than a 3-0 victory, as it keeps the team on edge. Especially after their outstanding performance at the Club World Cup, the players' morale is very high. Losing a set against Liaoning, who are not particularly strong, can serve as a wake-up…

The second stage of the CBA regular season is in full swing, but Guangdong Hongyuan Men's Basketball Team's performance has been disappointing. In a recently concluded game, Guangdong lost badly to their old rival Zhejiang at home, becoming the focus of public discussion. As the schedule approaches the halfway point, Guangdong has only managed a record of 12 wins and 10 losses, causing many fans to worry about their playoff qualification. Speaking of Guangdong's performance this season, the foreign player issue has almost become the biggest hidden danger. Although the team has introduced new faces like Bazley and Les, to be honest, the ones who can really hold up under pressure are still the familiar faces of Morand and Jilunwalt. Especially in the game against Zhejiang, Bazley's performance did not meet expectations, and the other new foreign player Les was even more disappointing, with his individual ability not as good as the previously cut Armstrong. In response to this situation, Zhu Fangyu, general manager of Guangdong, openly stated that the team is actively looking for a fifth foreign player. From the current situation, Guangdong urgently needs a "No. 3 position" player who can break the deadlock on the offensive end, and this player must have strong independent offensive capabilities as well as the standard height and wingspan of a forward. It can be said that finding such a suitable foreign player has become the primary problem that Guangdong must solve next. When it comes to foreign forwards, one name naturally comes to mind - Landzberg. This old acquaintance of the…
